When adjusting the pressure, check and make sure
that a pressure gauge for the tank has the pressure
level that is higher than that of the pressure to be
adjusted.
It is also imperative that you make adjustment by
slowly starting up the pressure from the level that is
lower than the pressure to be adjusted.
WARNING:
Check the manufacturer’s maximum
pressure rating for nailers, staplers
and accessories. Compressor outlet
pressure must be regulated so as to
never exceed the maximum pressure
rating of the nailers, staplers and
accessories.

3. Shutdown
(1) Push the knob of the pressure switch to  “OFF”

4. About the thermal protector
The thermal protector operates to stop the motor
when a problem such as a motor overload, etc.,
occurs. If the motor should stop during operation,
proceed as follows.
(1) Push the pressure switch knob to the "OFF"
position and disconnect the plug from the
receptacle (Fig. 2).
(2) If the extension cord does not conform to the
specifications given on page 7 replace with an
extension cord such as that shown on page 7. If
the capacity of the power supply is insufficient,
increase the power supply capacity to remove the
cause of a flow of excessive current (over-current).
(3) Wait approximately 5 minutes, then press the
reset switch of the thermal protector (Fig. 8).
(4) Start up. If the motor still stops during operation,
please contact the service center.
